Chelsea midfielder Ramires has admitted he would be interested in returning to his old Brazilian club Cruzeiro.

Ramires spent two seasons with Cruzeiro before moving to Europe with Benfica in 2009.

The all-action performer has established himself as a key member of the Chelsea since arriving in the summer of 2010 and played an integral role in their FA Cup and Champions League success last season.

The 25-year-old has revealed he still keeps an eye on Cruzeiro's progress, but concedes finances are likely to scupper any move move back to his homeland.
